German EinsNull magazin reviewed the LS1 and digged really deep into all details. They were stunned by the LS1’s performance. Editor in chief Christian Rechenbach wrote:
“This is probably the most ‘correct’ loudspeaker I’ve ever laid ears on. The combined honesty, neutrality and pleasing musicality is at a level that I haven’t come across before.”
“In the past I’ve always had a hard time with perfectly neutral speakers. Mostly I felt a certain boredom and annoyment at the lacklustre musical performance. The LS1’s showed me that you can build a speaker that is a hundred percent honest and yet never ceases to invite foot-tapping.”
“On these loudspeakers you can listen for hours on end without fatigue. This benefits both the professional user (who no longer has to return home with grated ears) and the Hi-Fi lover at home.”
